Fully functional movie sword, heavily inspired by real Medieval swords - Albion Sword of Arn review

#sword #medieval #cutting In this review I take a look at The Sword of Arn made by Albion. This sword was designed by Peter Johnsson for the 2007 movie Arn: The Knight Templar, and Albion has the rights to reproduce it as a functional sword. This specific one is on loan to me by sword friend Steve. Despite being a movie sword, it hews quite closely to historical examples, and I think it wouldn't look out of place in the late 12th Century, bearing a resemblance to both Oakeshott types Xa and XI.
